Overview
- The Ravens finalized a trade for Jacoby Brissett on Friday, sending a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 seventh-round pick to Arizona in exchange for Brissett and a 2027 fifth-round pick.
- Head coach Jesse Minter said he expects Brissett to be the Week 10 starter against the Los Angeles Chargers, giving Baltimore a veteran presence after Lamar Jackson was placed on injured reserve and Tyler Huntley was ruled out for the season.
- Brissett brings 73 career starts across 11 NFL seasons and a record of heavy pass volume, which should let the Ravens run a fuller passing game than the recent emergency quarterbacks did.
- The team hopes to use Brissett’s short-yardage ability, including the play that became known as the 'tush push,' to fix late-game and goal-line issues.
- There are clear risks: Brissett has thrown seven interceptions this season with five coming under pressure and he has taken many sacks since 2025, so the offensive line and coverage in the secondary must improve for the move to stabilize Baltimore’s playoff hopes.
